Cycling through Albania really sometimes felt like traveling back in time. Subsistence farming, horses and donkeys pulling carts, and simple, friendly people really made Albania feel very different to the more Central European countries we’d been to before.
Albania seems to us like a land of opposites. From “rags-to-riches”, everything can be found in rural and modern Albania. We often saw these two sides clashing together, making our experience very unique and interesting.
We hope you enjoy our video and can get an idea of what we experienced during our time there.

Have you considered solid tyres? That many flats would drive me round the bend. Albania is not a country where most would consider touring. I'm on the lookout for my next bike under £600. I want a proper touring bike with e-assist. I want to do Denmark to Greece 🇬🇷 meet friends in Croatia, Holland, Germany.
Enjoying your adventures thanks for all your efforts in uploading really interesting seeing these countries from your lens on the bikes👍🏻👍🏻
Grande viagem 👍
😍 keep it up☝️
Well done you two. Looks like your settling into journeying now. Have you considered a single wheel trailer, to get some weight off your bikes and stop the puncture problem. I use a German built Klarfit 35kg trailer. £150 off of ebay. Best accessory I ever bought.
Love to you both ❤
An amazing video. I have been following your journey from the beginning and I can't wait for you to come to Turkey. If all goes well, I'll be on the road in a month. I am renewing my bike and equipment. I hope we cross paths with you and have the opportunity to meet. If you have anything to ask about Turkey, you can ask to me. By the way, I think your tires blow out too often. I am using Mitas (Rubena) Stop Thorn Longway 26×2.0 tires and I am very satisfied, I recommend it to you too. TThe only drawback of these tires is that they are very heavy, one of them weighs about 1 kg. If you buy them in Turkey, you can get two of them for about 50 dollars. I'm looking forward to the next video. See you.
Stay safe and take care. ❤
Well done!!! Thanks for sharing your adventure!
Yessss! Great video guys. can't wait to see your adventure in greece! 😍
I'm loving your videos. Excellent work. BTW what are those rear extenders you have on your bikes? They look really useful.
Cool stuff, looks like a great adventure! I was wondering what kind of a mount you are using for the GoPro on your handlebar that lets you adjust it on the fly while riding 🙂
Great video as usual, always fascinating to see a new place – especially from this perspective!
Great video thank you for sharing
Amazing journeys 👌
Great courageous tour
Pune Maharashtra India 🙏
The coast you been is not the best you could get in Albania. The southern coast is really beautiful and less crowded and also a lot cleaner.
The southern coast is beautiful to bad. Korçë to Sarandë is a nice road then back up the coast is go to Vora
What do you have attached to your rear panniers? Are they musical instruments?
Really like your style of making this film ,keep it up .
absolutely LOVE your videos and trip! keep doing what you are doing and stay safe!
Super impressed with your positive attitudes with all the challenges of touring. New subscriber 🙂
We have the same luck when it comes to flats
Well done u2!
A+++. Another awesome video. The traffic looks mental in the towns and cities. Shame about all the trash, shocking really that these people have such little regard for their environment.
Good
Hey, amazing video. Funny that I was editing my video in Shkoder I was sitting on the caffe across where you are sitting at 2:14. Well done was really fun to watch!
It's getting nicer and nicer with each episode – looking forward to binge-watch all of your videos! 👍
What do you use for your GoPro mount? Looks like it's easily adjustable (ie: from facing forward to facing your face), yet stable.
I enjoy your videos, you left me wondering the names of the river(s), and I think there were lots of things that could have been pointed out, such as bunkers from the Soviet days.
I liked and subscribed mainly because you are down to earth, no cute stuff, no giggling and no whining.
I hate winers,, people that complain about everything including the beer and pizza, t Imagine That?!
You two are the best.
( SORRY, but you did point out the bunkers, I spoke to quickly.)
If you ever make it to the USA in Indiana, let me know.
I will have a room, shower, laundry and food for as long as you like.
Go safe.
Frank
